This was handed down from my grandfather to me

I know this is technically not a painting, but I have tried to find information about this poster and can’t find ANYTHING online. Is anyone here able to tell me a little about it?

Where was this artwork used?

I acquired this several years ago as I loved the subject matter. It seems to be a magazine, book or brochure image, but I haven’t been able to find where this was used. Anyone able to help me find where this was used? I contacted an artist named Ted Keller I found online and this was not his work. If anyone knows of other artists named Ted Keller I would appreciate history on this painting.

Oil on Canvas / Robert Helman ?

I found this painting at an Estate sale probably 4-5 years ago. Today I was listing a few items for sale on the typical sites and was feeling Google Lens happy. I took a quick photo of this beautiful piece of art. Lots of things popped up with his signature but I just want to make sure I have the right person and if it’s an original.

There should be a few photos available through this link.

I appreciate any and all feedback or guidance.

Help Please

Hello r/WhatIsThisPainting, I recently had a pipe burst in my parents house. They had been holding onto some art for me and when their garage flooded the art was taken. This first picture is one my grandmother gave me. She says she purchased this original piece when she was traveling in South Korea. I don't have any amazing pictures of it and reverse google searching came up with nothing for me.

The picture is a giraffe with a long neck. Some smaller animals stand around at the base of the giraffe with a panaroma of waterfall behind it and the planet.

I know that the image quality is bad, this is a crop of the only picture I seem to have of the thing. If anyone can identify the artist or the name of the piece I would appreciate it greatly.

Any clue?

The in-laws won this at an auction years ago. Wondering is anyone knows what it is. I can't read the artists signature, sorry for the bad quality.
